Android Question EZcamera Lib Not working

[abhishek007p]

i have a old app using this library EZCamera
https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/ezcamera.22931/

when i try to capture an image, i get error
FileUriExposedException filename.jpg exposed beyong app thought ClipData.Item.getUri()

How to fix it or any other library to capture image. i only need image not video.

Target SDK 36, B4A 14, Android 15,16

thanks

MediaChooser is the best option: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...orm-videos-and-images-chooser.161093/#content

any other simple method than this. i have a activity based app, not b4x pages. this example is adding too many libraries.
Edit - camera2 lib seems to be working. it is recommended to use it. i just want to capture a image.

MediaChooser depends on: FileProvider, Phone, B4XPages, Audio
The other libraries such as SMM and ExoPlayer are not needed unless you want to show the media.

Camera2 is a lower level solution. For simple cases, it is usually better to use an intent based solution. You can take the CaptureImage code from MediaChooser.

thanks, i will try CaptureImage code from MediaChooser. i removed ExoPlayer and it gave me a error, i will try again and keep only code i need for capturing image.

i removed ExoPlayer and it gave me a error

It is related to the playback code. It is not needed for MediaChooser functionality.

i opened a new non-b4x page project (bcoz my app is old), added MediaChooser and other Libs like you suggested. and in giving me error.

Unknown type: b4xmainpage Are you missing a library reference? (B4XPages.B4XPages)

B4A Version: 14.00

I wasn't clear. MediaChooser does depend on B4XPages. You can try to extract the source code (it is a zip file) and take out the feature that you need.

i extracted the class file from Library, added to new project and i am able to get camera window, but after taking a pic, it is showig false in "Result.Success" i am uploading project. please see

You also need to add FileProvider in manifest, see MCExample.
